I absolutely agree if Martin gets the chance, but I sure hope there is a viable plan B in place.

He still scares me to handle Tannehill's main protective layer on the line. They way he got manhandled at times last season, I also hope he has vastly improved his overall strength. Time will tell and proving it against the competition, but if he is the guy, I am certainly rooting for him to become an all-pro.

I think the plan has been for Martin to start at left tackle all along. Throughout the entire draft process we were simply throwing up smoke screens. At the end of the day I think our staff is comfortable with Martin. Winson was been someone they wanted all along as well. But in order to not completely tip our hat, and in order to keep negotiations in our favor, Ireland has had to play a little hardball and bring in some other guys for leverage. I think when its all said and done Winston will be a Dolphin. He's a good fit and so long as he's healthy he should be able to play at a high level like he did when he was under Sherman in Houston.

I'm telling ya, all of these OT visits are a negotiating tactic to get Winston to sign on Miami's terms. He's the perfect fit for the line. I'm somewhat convinced he'll be a Dolphin by the end of the week.

I hope Martin can be a good/above average left tackle. That would be enough for this offense to thrive...well, so long as Tannehill is the real deal.

That's the hope. That by adding linemen capable of properly running the zone blocking scheme and weapons on the outside that Tannehill can take a huge leap forward this year. If the moves we make around Tannehill work, then we'll likely see huge improvements in his game. In addition, I think you're looking at a young playoff team.

Mando tweeted that he heard that Miami was considering signing BOTH McKinnie and one of the veteran RTs for 1 year deals. I don't believe it.... that seems unrealistic. Hard to sift through all the rumors swirling. Hope whatever they are going to do gets done soon, before these guys start signing elsewhere and our options and leverage dwindles.
